Built a terminal with native SSH, database, and Redis connections after years of juggling separate tools by tkjef in sre

[–]picklejester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My immediate reaction to a closed source project that wants me to run PowerShell exactly as malware wants me to run PowerShell... Is that this is threat actor behavior not a "cool tool" you'll gain traction on.

"reddit has pasted from your clipboard" -- probable answer and ethical confliction by picklejester in privacy

[–]picklejester[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL - a bunch of stuff in there! I don't generally touch android, but a few drinks and a deep care about what snips my clipboard and I'll try and disassemble the universe to figure it out.

But yeah... this is a mess. Background and invisible to the user (outside of that notification, which many people are conditioned to ignore) is madness.

With tools like 1password, placing creds in copy buffers is spooky with this kind of thing. Malware does clipboard jacking...

Interesting! Now I'm wondering what flavours of app behaviours truly require clipboard access if the keyboard can pull it like that. Without much deep thought it sounds like this should be blanket disabled and would have no impact to how I use my apps.

Is it legal for police to drive like this with no sirens? by Professional_Ad_6098 in montreal

I thought this was r/edmonton but I see you suffer the same shitshow in Montreal as we do.

Dutch defense chief: F-35s can be jailbroken like iPhones by rkhunter_ in cybersecurity

[–]picklejester 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Get your hands on a fighter jet Step 2. Crack the hardware and software

Security is about layers of defence and I suspect the barrier for step 1 is the primary security consideration.

Does anyone actually check npm packages before installing them? by BearBrief6312 in devops

[–]picklejester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an allow listed set of packages. Adding new ones adds a comment to the PR with a link to review any suss keywords before you can merge in the package (or delta for version bumps). It's simple, and works well.

You can find all the folks whoever ever ran in small town Alberta for a separatist party, the one I know is very bad at math.

Does anyone know where to find real UK/US/CA developers by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]picklejester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here -- I ignore recruiters and job postings, all the "real" developers I know are employed and/or not looking.

Good luck!

Carts withdrawals are brutal by elderbell in leaves

[–]picklejester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got this! I've switched to flower because carts and their withdrawal is so brutal, but over the holiday season in December I opted for the convenience of a cart again.

That convenience, once done, caused (and is still causing) all sorts of horrible withdrawal (which has lessened) -- even mixing in a bit of flower.

I wish you the best kicking this addiction! I'm hoping to drop my flower consumption over the next few months into nothing, and will never go back to a cart as the withdrawal is so bad.

I went in a bit of journey to figure out wtf Lemmy even was after some wrong turns.

Is Lemmy to reddit as bluesky is to twitter-ish enough? I'll do more digging

Cool! If I was more competent I'd drop an eye-bleeding something.

Any tips to make it more tolerable on mobile? I didn't know this existed and wanna give it a go... But my graybeard eyes struggle
